AVAILABILITY
WA2L/edrc
DESCRIPTION
rosid
generates an unique identifier for each combination of OS release
(uname -r),
OS version
(uname -s)
and machine architecture
(uname -m)
of a remote system.
The
rosid(3)
command does not probe the operating system and also does
not resolve an existing
/etc/sfi/OSID
file on the remote system; else the operating system id resolution
is identical to the
osid(3)
command.
See
osid(3)
for more information.
OPTIONS
- -h
-
print
osid
usage.
- -e
-
use
EDRC_USER
as defined in
etc/ssh-exec.cfg
(default=edrc)
as local user.
- -l localuser
-
use the local user
localuser
to initiate the connection.
Default local user is
edrc.
- -u user
-
remote user to connect on the target system.
Default remote user is
root.
- -t hostname
-
target system
hostname
to execute the
commands.
- -u user@hostname
-
remote
user
to connect on the target system
hostname.
EXIT STATUS
- 0
-
the operating system id could be resolved.
- 1
-
the operating system id could not be resolved. In this case
rosid
returns
unknown
as OS-id. If you receive this return value you should check
the configuration file
edrc/etc/osid.dat
or
edrc/etc/osid.dat.WA2L
if the entry for the current operating system is missing. If
two releases on an operating system are sufficient similar, they should
be mapped to the same OS-id.
- 2

cannot connect to the remote system.
- 4
-
usage listed.
- 5
-
command aborted.
